Thanks for your input.  I have been reading as much as I can for weeks.  
I'm sure you'd be surprised at how much I've been reading. I've also 
been rereading everything.  I eventually got it working. But I'm having 
gaps in some of the components and really appreciate this resource to 
help with some of the gaps.

I'll certainly give back to the community with all what I'm learning.

I had already dropped the prefs file which didn't do anything.  I recall 
having seen a reference to a local php file, but had problems finding it 
and finding where I saw the reference.  I had searched the whole file 
system trying to find "local.php" files associated with horde.

But thanks to your input, it appears I'll probably have to create one 
and start from there.

I'll work with this new information and give feedback.  If it works, I'm 
sure others will benefit from the information.  If it fails, I'll hope 
for more hints, while I continue to read and experiment.

Thanks again!
